PART A – SUBJECT GOODS

Note that bold and italicized terms are defined in the Glossary in Part C of this document.

PRODUCT DEFINITION

Subject goods are described as:

Pressure pipe fittings and drainage, waste and vent pipe fittings, made of cast copper alloy, wrought (or “wrot”) copper alloy or wrought copper for use in heating, plumbing, air conditioning and refrigeration applications originating in or exported from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, restricted to the products enumerated below.

Products Covered by the Investigation:

The following information is to be taken into consideration in identifying copper pipe fittings (subject goods) being investigated by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA):

1. The subject goods are identified in terms of imperial measurement, i.e. inches. The CBSA is also investigating subject goods that encompass the metric equivalents of the imperial measurement. The term metric equivalent refers to those fittings that are soft converted equivalents of the imperial sized fittings and does not include fittings made specifically in metric dimensions.

2. The subject goods are identified either as a wrought product or as a cast product. Where a subject good contains an asterisk ("*") the CBSA is investigating both the wrought product and the cast product.

3. The subject goods are identified in terms of nominal size. Plumbing and heating fittings are marked according to nominal sizes that correspond to the inside diameters, while fittings for air conditioning and refrigeration are based on actual outer diameter sizes. The CBSA is also investigating subject goods that are described in terms of their outside diameter size. To determine the nominal size of a fitting that is measured in terms of its outside diameter size, always subtract from the outside diameter size.

4. The subject goods are identified using abbreviated terms provided by the complainant. The following is a list of the terms:

Product Use

CPF are used to connect copper pipes, tubes or other CPF to one another. The methods of joining CPF include soldering, silver brazing and epoxy or similar gluing techniques. The connection is made by fitting two pieces together and heating the ends of the tubing and fittings, filling the gap between the two with melted solder or brazing material that solidifies while cooling, resulting in a strong leak-proof intermetallic connection. The fittings can also be used to connect copper tubing to other metal systems by use of threaded fittings. Finally, the connection can also be made using epoxy or similar gluing methods.Subsidy RFI for the Government of Vietnam – Certain Copper Pipe Fittings 2017 14

CPF that are commonly referred to as “pressure pipe fittings” may be used to convey liquids (e.g. potable water), gases and air under pressure in residential, industrial, commercial and institutional buildings.

CPF that are commonly referred to as “drainage, waste and vent fittings (DWV)” are used primarily to convey waste from buildings to sewers and for venting purposes under low-pressure conditions.

In addition, CPF are also used in a variety of air conditioning and refrigeration (“ACR”) applications. CPF used in air conditioning applications are typically identified by reference to their outside diameters, whereas the same CPF used in non-ACR applications such as plumbing and heating are typically identified by reference to their inside or “nominal” diameters. Apart from the reference to diameter, a particular copper fitting for an ACR application is the same as a copper fitting for a non-air conditioning application. It is common practice to label copper fittings by reference to both their inside (nominal) and outside diameters.

CLASSIFICATION OF IMPORTS

Subject goods are normally imported under the following classification numbers:

7412.10.00.11 7412.20.00.11 7412.20.00.907412.10.00.19 7412.20.00.127412.10.00.90 7412.20.00.19

The listing of HS classification numbers is for convenience of reference only. The HS classification numbers include non-subject goods. Also, subject goods may fall under HS classification numbers that are not listed. Refer to the product definition for authoritative details regarding the subject goods.


PART B – INSTRUCTIONS

Purpose of the Request for Information

B.1. This Request for Information (RFI) specifies the information and documents required concerning:

A. Subsidies as defined in Canada's Special Import Measures Act (SIMA) and the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures being a part of the Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization (WTO Agreement), which are deemed to exist because of a financial contribution (as defined in Part C) or any form of income or price support within the meaning of Article XVI of the GATT 1994 (being part of Annex 1A to the WTO Agreement (ATTACHMENT A of this RFI)), by the Government of Vietnam1, that confers a benefit to persons engaged in the production, manufacture, growth, processing, purchase, distribution, transportation, sale, export or import of subject goods (briefly, the productions or sales of subject goods), but does not include the amount of any duty or internal tax imposed by the government of the country of origin or country of export on:(i) goods that, because of their exportation from the country of export

or country of origin, have been exempted or have been or will be relieved by means of remission, refund or drawback,

(ii) energy, fuel, oil and catalysts that are used or consumed in the production of exported goods and that have been exempted or have been or will be relieved by means of remission, refund or drawback, or

(iii) goods incorporated into exported goods and that have been exempted or have been or will be relieved by means of remission, refund or drawback.

AND

B. The countervailability of any such subsidy (i.e. whether the subsidy is specific and actionable) within the meaning of SIMA.

Note that additional questions may be asked in the form of a Supplemental Request for Information at a later date concerning other possible subsidy programs that may be uncovered during the course of this investigation.

1 Refer to the definition of Government of Vietnam found in Part C – Glossary. This definition applies for all references to the term GOV used in this document.


B.2. The Canada Border Services Agency (“CBSA”) will be assessing to what extent the subject goods exported to/imported into Canada during the POI have been subsidized by the countervailable subsidy programs. However, in certain instances, information and documentation may be requested for the period outside of the POI in order to determine any amount of subsidy that may be applicable to the subject goods. For example, benefits from certain types of subsidies are allocated over time corresponding to the average useful life of an asset and thus subsidies received in number of years preceding the POI would require review.

B.3. An exporter subsidy RFI has been sent directly to all exporters identified to date by the CBSA. Where adequate responses are not received by the CBSA, the CBSA will base its decision on the facts available.

B.4. Please note that information is requested for all programs, regardless of the dates of implementation, to assess if a benefit has been conferred upon companies in Vietnam that have produced or sold subject goods during the POI.

CONFIDENTIAL AND NON-CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

B.5. Part F of the RFI describes the treatment of confidential and non-confidential information submitted to the CBSA in connection with proceedings under SIMA.

NUMBER OF COPIES REQUIRED AND FORMAT OF INFORMATION SUBMITTED

B.6. Your response to the RFI should be provided in electronic documents on CDs or DVDs. Provide the confidential information and the non-confidential edited version or summary on separate CDs or DVDs, labelled as follows: CONFIDENTIAL or NON-CONFIDENTIAL, “Government response”, date and “CPF2 2017 IN”. Where multiple discs are provided, please also indicate the material contained on the disc and its order in the disc sequence (i.e. Parts A and B, disc 1 of 3). A submission without a non-confidential version is an incomplete response. In addition, a complete copy of your submission must be maintained at your premises should an on-site verification of your submission be conducted.

B.7. Use the YYYY-MM-DD format for all dates. For example, write June 18, 2016 as 2016-06-18.

B.8. Narrative or text responses must be provided in Microsoft Word Version 2010 or in compatible word processing software. Spreadsheets or data responses must be provided in Microsoft Excel Version 2010 or in compatible data processing software.

B.9. Your response must state each numbered question followed by a complete response. If a question does not apply to you or requests information in a format that is different than that in which it is maintained, an explanation as to why the


question does not apply or how the information was adjusted to respond to the question is required.

B.10. Your response must be in either English or French. Any source material that you provide must be in the document’s original language and must be accompanied by a translation in either English or French. Failure to comply with this instruction may preclude the CBSA from considering your information.

B.11. Submissions in electronic documents must be numbered consecutively by page from start to finish, including appendices and attachments.

B.12. Replies to questions should be as specific as possible and clearly reflect the situation. It is essential to submit a complete and detailed response to each question. Where a question does not apply, an appropriate explanation should be given as to why it does not apply. Consequently, in many instances, “Not Applicable” or an answer that only refers to an exhibit or an attachment will not provide the CBSA with a clear explanation of the existing situation and will be considered an incomplete response

Note that answers such as: "Not Applicable" or an answer that only refers to an exhibit, an attachment, or previous submission is not acceptable. Your response to any question should be complete on its own. Any supporting cross-references to exhibits, attachments or previous submission must be specific in nature, citing the name of the document, where it can be found, the page number and paragraph or section reference.

DUE DATE FOR RESPONSE

B.13. The due date for the receipt of your response at our offices in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada is December 4, 2017. Responses received after the due date may not be considered for the purposes of the investigation. If you do not fully respond to this RFI, amounts of subsidy/countervailing duty assessed on subject goods will be based on the facts available to the CBSA.

VERIFICATION MEETINGS

B.14. A complete response, including all of the documentation requested, must be submitted to the CBSA before a verification meeting will be considered.

B.15. It is common practice for CBSA officers to visit government officials, exporters and manufacturer(s) of the subject goods in order to verify the information submitted. You will be contacted in advance of such a meeting to make arrangements as to the time and place of the verification meeting.

B.16. In the event of a verification visit, a complete copy of your response, including copies of all documentation requested must be made available for the use of the CBSA officers participating in the verification meetings.


B.17. If the verification meeting is delayed or cancelled due to the unavailability of government officials to meet with CBSA officers, countervailing duty assessed on subject goods may be based on the facts available to the CBSA.

B.18. The purpose of the verification meeting is to verify information already provided to the CBSA in your submission prior to the meeting or to obtain further details. It is not intended to be a second opportunity to provide new or additional information. Accordingly, the original response should be complete and accurate.

B.19. During any verification meeting with the CBSA, each government official who prepared any part of the response and who has knowledge of the source documentation and the information contained therein must be available to meet with CBSA officers and to provide additional clarification and explanation, as required.

B.20. To satisfy itself as to the integrity, completeness and accuracy of the information supplied, the CBSA may examine information in respect of other companies not listed in ATTACHMENT C. For example, the CBSA may require information on companies or industries not covered by this investigation in order to determine whether a particular subsidy is specific in accordance with Article 2 of the WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures.

B.21. During the verification meeting, your office should be in a position to promptly retrieve requested documents and to provide photocopies of such documents when requested by the CBSA officers. During the meeting, you will also be required to provide a non-confidential version of each document requested by CBSA officers. CBSA officers will require two copies of each document (plus one copy of the non-confidential version) requested during the verification meeting.

SOURCE DOCUMENTS

B.22. Source documents should be kept easily accessible at your offices for possible review during the verification meeting.

FAILURE TO COOPERATE

B.23. Failure to submit all required information and documentation, includingnon-confidential versions, failure to comply with all instructions contained in this RFI, failure to permit verification of any information, failure to provide reliable/accurate information, or failure to provide documentation requested during the verification visits may result in the assessment of amount of subsidy/countervailing duties on subject goods based on the facts available to the CBSA.

RESULTS OF INVESTIGATION & DISCLOSURE MEETINGS


B.24. The results of the investigation, including the methodologies for determining the amount of subsidy, will be made available to you upon completion of the investigation. Should you wish to discuss the results of the investigation and the decisions taken, CBSA officers will be available to meet with you or your representatives in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

ESTABLISHING CONTACT WITH THE CBSA

B.25. You are requested to contact a CBSA officer indicated on the covering page of this RFI within a week following the receipt of this request, by telephone, by fax or via e-mail, to indicate whether you will be responding to the RFI and if so, your government's contact person. If applicable, indicate the name, telephone number, and e-mail address of the counsel that will be representing your government during this investigation. At the same time, you are encouraged to raise any questions you may have and seek any explanations necessary to assist you in completing your submission.

PART E – SUBSIDY PROGRAMS INVESTIGATED

INFORMATION REQUESTED ON ALLEGED SUBSIDY PROGRAMS UNDER INVESTIGATION

For each program listed in this Part and any other additional programs identified by the Government of Vietnam (“GOV”), you are required to answer all the Standard Questions immediately following the program listing below.

Please read carefully the requirements for responding to questions relating to each program. Failure to comply with the requirements may preclude the CBSA from considering your response to the RFI to be complete.

Information is required to be provided for all programs regardless of the year the benefits were granted by the GOV or received by any of the companies listed in ATTACHMENT C, as well as those further identified by the GOV, where the program benefits impact on the production and sales of subject goods during the POI.

For purposes of this RFI, the term “program” may also refer to informal subsidies provided by the GOV, and can also refer to multiple individual, albeit similar, subsidies. It does not necessarily refer to formal programs maintained by the GOV, nor should it be taken to refer to one specific subsidy.

You are requested to answer all of the Standard Questions for each program listed in this Part. Where none of the companies listed in ATTACHMENT C (including those further identified by the GOV) or any of their associated companies as defined in Part C, at any time applied for, used, or benefited from the specific program in question where benefits accrued to the company during the POI, you should indicate that none of the companies listed in ATTACHMENT C has received any benefits under the program. However, should you indicate that none of the companies listed in ATTACHMENT C has received any benefits under the program; you are still requested to answer all of the questions in Standard Questions for that program.

For any program that has multiple funding sources or is administered by different governmental levels, please provide information as to the roles of each administrating authority(e.g., organization, source of funding, administration, approving authority). If a question requires information from other authorities, e.g., state or provincial governments, please forward questions to the correct source. However, it is the responsibility of the GOV to ensure that full and complete responses to questions on programs administered by all levels of government are obtained from the appropriate governmental authorities.


The following are programs that the CBSA will be examining during the course of this Investigation:

Program 1 Land-Use Levy Exemption/ReductionProgram 2 Land Rent Exemption/ReductionProgram 3 Tax Exemptions and Reductions for Encouraged SectorsProgram 4 Enterprise Income Tax Exemption/Reduction for Business

ReasonsProgram 18 Accelerated Depreciation of Fixed AssetsProgram 19 Program Incentives on Non-agricultural land use tax

Any Other Program not previously addressed

There may be other assistance programs administered directly or indirectly by the GOV resulting in benefits granted and/or received by the companies listed in ATTACHMENT C.

Such assistance programs are those that constitute a subsidy as defined in Paragraph 1 of Part B, consisting of:

i) any financial contribution as defined in Part C, orii) any form of income or price support within the meaning of Article XVI of the GATT

1994, as described in ATTACHMENT A


that confers a benefit to persons engaged in the production, manufacture, growth, processing, purchase, distribution, transportation, sale, export or import of the subject goods.

For greater clarity, this includes any subsidy which is contingent, whether solely or as one of several other conditions, upon export performance, including those illustrated in Annex I (copy attached as ATTACHMENT B) of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures. This also includes any subsidy program which is contingent, whether solely or as one of several other conditions, upon the use of domestic over imported goods (i.e. Where the GOV provides financial assistance to exporters of the subject goods for purposes of reducing their cost of domestically sourced inputs, tools, machinery and so forth with the result that the said goods are purchased from domestic producers rather than from other countries).

If the GOV, any of its agencies or any other authorized non-governmental body provided any other assistance programs not previously identified or addressed, to any of the companies listed in ATTACHMENT C, as well as those further identified by the GOV, please identify the programs and for each program, answer all of the Standard Questions below.

PART F – TREATMENT OF CONFIDENTIAL AND NON-CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

Submitted to the CBSA for all Proceedings under SIMA

Why Provide Confidential and Non-Confidential Information?

The Special Import Measures Act (SIMA) requires that confidential information submitted to the CBSA be accompanied by a non-confidential (public) version of the information. The following explains how non-confidential and confidential information will be handled and how to prepare both a confidential and non-confidential submission of your information.

Treatment of Your Non-Confidential Information

Your non-confidential information will be given to any party that asks for this information for the purposes of the proceeding.

Treatment of Your Confidential Information

There are certain times when the CBSA will release your confidential information: first, to independent counsel for a party to the proceeding; and second, to Canadian courts, tribunals and panels.

1. Confidential information will be provided to independent counsel for a party to the proceeding. Counsel includes any person who represents another party in the proceeding and includes legal counsel. A party is a person, or business, that participates in and has a direct interest in the proceeding.

Counsel must ask for the confidential information in writing and must provide a written guarantee to the CBSA stating that they will:

only use the information in relation to this proceeding; not give out the information; protect the information; not copy the information without the CBSA’s permission; destroy the information when they are done; provide the CBSA with a written notice that the information is destroyed; and report any violations or possible violations to the CBSA.

The CBSA will not give your confidential information to independent counsel if the CBSA believes that it might cause harm to you or your business.


2. Confidential information will be given to the Canadian International Trade Tribunal, any Court in Canada, a Binational or World Trade Organization (WTO) Panel, to act on appeals. These organizations will use your information to fulfill their responsibilities under Canadian law, NAFTA or WTO Agreements. The confidential information is subject to the rules of procedure of the Court or Panel to which it is provided.

Providing Only Non-Confidential Information?

If you decide that your reply to this RFI does not contain confidential information, every page of your reply should be marked "NON-CONFIDENTIAL". You must make a statement, in a covering letter, that you do not consider any information in your submission to be confidential.

Providing Confidential Information?

If your reply to this RFI contains confidential information, this reply, along with all of the attachments and supporting documents, will be your confidential submission. You must:

1. Clearly indicate, by either enclosing all confidential information within square brackets or by shading all confidential information contained in this submission; and

2. Clearly mark "CONFIDENTIAL" on every page of the confidential submission, including all attachments.

If you have a submission with confidential information, for the CBSA to be able to use your information, you must provide a non-confidential version. It is important that your non-confidential version is complete, as it will be provided to other parties involved in this investigation if they request it.

Your non-confidential version may be in the form of:

a non-confidential edited version; or

a non-confidential summary version, where the edited version would not contain enough information to convey a reasonable understanding of the information submitted in the confidential version.

Non-confidential Edited Version

An edited version has the confidential information removed, to create a non-confidential version. You must leave enough detail to provide an understanding of the confidential information removed.

In the document called “Non-Confidential Statement”, which must be attached with yournon-confidential version, you must:


A) explain briefly the nature of the confidential information removed in your non-confidential version; and

B) give the reasons why you request that the information be treated confidential, as explained in this part of the RFI.

In the following example, the text indicates the nature of the bracketed [confidential information] that has been deleted in the non-confidential version.

The confidential response to a request may be: The selling price of model ABC to our Canadian distributor was US$[25.99] per unit.

The non-confidential edited version of this response may be: The selling price of model ABC to our Canadian distributor was US$[ ] per unit. In this example, the nature of the information removed in the non-confidential version relates to “selling price information.”

NOTE: the spacing between the brackets [ ] should reflect the same spacing as in the confidential version.

As a further example, the following would represent an acceptable non-confidential edited version of an export sales listing. A sample page for a multi-page listing could look like this:

NOTE:Do not use “shading”, “highlighting”, “font colors” or any other type of masking to hide confidential information in the non-confidential electronic version. You must delete (remove) the confidential information in the non-confidential version.

If you use a black marker to hide confidential information on the paper version of the non-confidential version or in any attachments to the non-confidential version, please ensure that the black shading covers everything and that it is dark enough not to reveal confidential information when we will save electronically your documents in PDF format.


Non-Confidential Summary Version

Where deleting information for a non-confidential edited version would not leave enough detail to provide an understanding of the confidential information removed, a non-confidential summary of the deleted information must be included, describing the confidential information that has been removed.

If you intend to provide a non-confidential summary of an appendix or attachment, the non-confidential narrative would normally be accompanied by at least one (1) sample page, with the confidential data removed, of the related appendix or attachment.

Review of Non-Confidential Submission

The non-confidential version of your submission will be reviewed by the CBSA to ensure that it is in sufficient detail to convey a reasonable understanding of the substance of the information submitted in the confidential version.

If CBSA determines that an adequate non-confidential edited version or a non-confidential summary of information designated as confidential has not been provided by the respondent, and the respondent fails to justify why it cannot be provided, does not take corrective action or does not submit a revised version, the CBSA will NOT use the confidential information provided by your firm in the proceedings. As a result, the CBSA’s determination will be based on the best information available. It is imperative that companies delete only the minimum information necessary to protect their interests and only what is confidential.

You will find on the next page the Non-Confidential Statement that needs to be completed and attached with your non-confidential edited version or non-confidential version.

ATTACHMENT A - Income and Price Support(GATT 1994, ARTICLE XVI, SECTION A1)


[Excerpt of General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994]Article XVI*

SubsidiesSECTION A - SUBSIDIES IN GENERAL

1. If any contracting party grants or maintains any subsidy, including any form of income or price support, which operates directly or indirectly to increase exports of any product from, or to reduce imports of any product into, its territory, it shall notify the CONTRACTING PARTIES in writing of the extent and nature of the subsidization, of the estimated effect of the subsidization on the quantity of the affected product or products imported into or exported from its territory and of the circumstances making the subsidization necessary. In any case in which it is determined that serious prejudice to the interests of any other contracting party is caused or threatened by any such subsidization, the contracting party granting the subsidy shall, upon request, discuss with the other contracting party or parties concerned, or with the CONTRACTING PARTIES, the possibility of limiting the subsidization.

SECTION B - ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS ON EXPORT SUBSIDIES*

2. The contracting parties recognize that the granting by a contracting party of a subsidy on the export of any product may have harmful effects for other contracting parties, both importing and exporting, may cause undue disturbance to their normal commercial interests, and may hinder the achievement of the objectives of this Agreement.

3. Accordingly, contracting parties should seek to avoid the use of subsidies on the export of primary products. If, however, a contracting party grants directly

or indirectly any form of subsidy which operates to increase the export of any primary product from its territory, such subsidy shall not be applied in a manner which results in that contracting party having more than an equitable share of world export trade in that product, account being taken of the shares of the contracting parties in such trade in the product during a previous representative period, and any special factors which may have affected or may be affecting such trade in the product.*

4. Further, as from 1 January 1958 or the earliest practicable date thereafter, contracting parties shall cease to grant either directly or indirectly any form of subsidy on the export of any product other than a primary product which subsidy results in the sale of such product for export at a price lower than the comparable price charged for the like product to buyers in the domestic market. Until 31 December 1957 no contracting party shall extend the scope of any such subsidization beyond that existing on 1 January 1955 by the introduction of new, or the extension of existing, subsidies.*

5. The CONTRACTING PARTIES shall review the operation of the provisions of this Article from time to time with a view to examining its effectiveness, in the light of actual experience, in promoting the objectives of this Agreement and avoiding subsidization seriously prejudicial to the trade or interests of contracting parties.___________________________________* Asterisks mark the portions of the text which should be read in conjunction with notes and supplementary provisions in Annex I to the World Trade Organization Agreement.


ATTACHMENT B - Illustrative List of Export Subsidies

(AGREEMENT ON SUBSIDIES ANDCOUNTERVAILING MEASURES, ANNEX I)


[Excerpt of General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994]

ANNEX I - ILLUSTRATIVE LIST OF EXPORT SUBSIDIES

(a) The provision by governments of direct subsidies to a firm or an industry contingent upon export performance.

(b) Currency retention schemes or any similar practices which involve a bonus on exports.

(c) Internal transport and freight charges on export shipments, provided or mandated by governments, on terms more favourable than for domestic shipments.

(d) The provision by governments or their agencies either directly or indirectly through government-mandated schemes, of imported or domestic products or services for use in the production of exported goods, on terms or conditions more favourable than for provision of like or directly competitive products or services for use in the production of goods for domestic consumption, if (in the case of products) such terms or conditions are more favourable than those commercially available57 on world markets to their exporters.

(e) The full or partial exemption remission, or deferral specifically related to exports, of direct taxes58 or social welfare charges paid or payable by industrial or commercial enterprises59.

_____________________________________57The term "commercially available" means that the choice between domestic and imported products is unrestricted and depends only on commercial considerations.58For the purpose of this Agreement:

The term "direct taxes" shall mean taxes on wages, profits, interests, rents, royalties, and all other forms of income, and taxes on the ownership of real property;The term "import charges" shall mean tariffs, duties, and other fiscal charges not elsewhere enumerated in this note that are levied on imports;The term "indirect taxes" shall mean sales, excise, turnover, value added, franchise, stamp, transfer, inventory and equipment taxes, border taxes and all taxes other than direct taxes and import charges;"Prior-stage" indirect taxes are those levied on goods or services used directly or indirectly in making the product;"Cumulative" indirect taxes are multi-staged taxes levied where there is no mechanism for subsequent crediting of the tax if the goods or services subject to tax at one stage of production are used in a succeeding stage of production;"Remission" of taxes includes the refund or rebate of taxes;"Remission or drawback" includes the full or partial exemption or deferral of import charges.

59The Members recognize that deferral need not amount to an export subsidy where, for example, appropriate interest charges are collected. The Members reaffirm the principle that prices for goods in transactions between exporting enterprises and foreign buyers under their or under the same control should for tax purposes be the prices which would be charged between independent enterprises acting at arm's length. Any Member may draw the attention of another Member to administrative or other practices which may contravene this principle and which result in a significant saving of direct taxes in export transactions. In such circumstances the Members shall normally attempt to resolve their differences using the facilities of existing bilateral tax treaties or other specific international mechanisms, without prejudice to the rights and obligations of Members under GATT 1994, including the right of consultation created in the preceding sentence. Paragraph (e) is not intended to limit a Member from taking measures to avoid the double taxation of foreign-source income earned by its enterprises or the enterprises of another Member.


(f) The allowance of special deductions directly related to exports or export performance, over and above those granted in respect to production for domestic consumption, in the calculation of the base on which direct taxes are charged.

(g) The exemption or remission, in respect of the production and distribution of exported products, of indirect taxes58 in excess of those levied in respect of the production and distribution of like products when sold for domestic consumption.

(h) The exemption, remission or deferral of prior-stage cumulative indirect taxes58 on goods or services used in the production of exported products in excess of the exemption, remission or deferral of like prior-stage cumulative indirect taxes on goods or services used in the production of like products when sold for domestic consumption; provided, however, that prior-stage cumulative indirect taxes may be exempted, remitted or deferred on exported products even when not exempted, remitted or deferred on like products when sold for domestic consumption, if the prior-stage cumulative indirect taxes are levied on inputs that are consumed in the production of the exported product (making normal allowance for waste).60 This item shall be interpreted in accordance with the guidelines on consumption of inputs in the production process contained in Annex II.

(i) The remission or drawback of import charges58 in excess of those levied on imported inputs that are consumed in the production of the exported product (making normal allowance for waste); provided, however, that in particular cases a firm may use a quantity of home market inputs equal to, and having the same quality and characteristics as, the imported inputs as a substitute for them in order to benefit from this provision if the import and the corresponding export operations both occur within a reasonable time period, not to exceed two years. This item shall be interpreted in accordance with the guidelines on consumption of inputs in the production process contained in Annex II and the guidelines in the determination of substitution drawback systems as export subsidies contained in Annex III.

(j) The provision by governments (or special institutions controlled by governments) of export credit guarantee or insurance programs, of insurance or guarantee programs against increases in the cost of exported products or of exchange risk programs, at premium rates which are inadequate to cover the long-term operating costs and losses of the programs.

(k) The grant by governments (or special institutions controlled by and/or acting under the authority of governments) of export credits at rates below those which they actually have to pay for the funds so employed (or would have to pay if they borrowed on international capital markets in order to obtain funds of the same maturity and other credit terms and denominated in the same currency as the export credit), or the payment by them of all or part of the costs incurred by exporters or financial institutions in obtaining credits, in so far as they are used to secure a material advantage in the field of export credit terms.


Provided, however, that if a Member is a party to an international undertaking on official export credits to which at least twelve original Members to this Agreement are parties as of 1 January 1979 (or a successor undertaking which has been adopted by those original Members), or if in practice a Member applies the interest rates provisions of the relevant undertaking, an export credit practice which is in conformity with those provisions shall not be considered an export subsidy prohibited by this Agreement.

(l) Any other charge on the public account constituting an export subsidy in the sense of Article XVI of GATT 1994.
